Here is a list of some modified versions of MAME:
Callus
Callus is a Capcom CPS-1 emulator developed by Bloodlust software.
Raine
Originally started as an arcade emulator for the game Rainbow Islands (hence the name), it was later developed into an emulator that supports about 70 games. See the official site, [1], for more info.
MAME™
MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is one of (if not the) most widely used videogame emulators. Currently, it supports over six thousand different arcade games. Standard versions of MAME can be found an MAME.net, intermediate versions and development notes are at MAMEDev.com.
Since MAME is an open source project, many people have created modified versions with various extra tweaks and features. You can find some versions on it own page (Mame Modified Versions).
Daphne
Daphne emulates laserdisc games like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. It's available from Daphne-EMu.com.
Vantage
Vantage is an acronym for Vertical ANTiquated Arcade Game Emulator.
VAntAGE is designed purely as a replacement for your 'classic' arcade board collection.
It was written to be as small and fast as possible (to keep the cost of the host PC to a minimum) and to run the arcade games 'as intended'.
With this in mind, it supports:
- rotation (i.e. correctly orientated video)
- screen flipping
- cocktail modes (for all games)
- screen video mode tweaking (see Video Mode Tweaking on home page)
- arcade monitor output
- various options to run 'tall' vertical games on a horizontal arcade monitor
The Vantage home page is http://www.mameworld.net/pc2jamma/vantage.html
ZiNC
ZiNc is an emulator for arcade video games based on Sony PlayStation hardware. This includes systems from Capcom, Taito, Konami, Tecmo, and Namco, among others. These games are also supported in MAME, but ZiNc can frequently run them faster and with graphics and sound enhancements (therefore not a full emulator, see also simulators).
